Sticklepath Horseshoe, Dartmoor – on the Saturday. News from Greg:-
”A dull warm day saw around 50 runners set off from Sticklepath near Okehampton for the approx 10 miles horseshoe. A very runnable and scenic route, with a tricky bit of route finding at the end (for me anyway – I dropped 18 places and added a couple of miles and an extra climb into the bargain). Donna was first lady home in 1:35. I can thoroughly recommend this friendly low key event to anyone, well organised and a great route.
1 Andy Vallance 1:15
18 Donna Claridge 1:35
28 Greg Rimmer 1:46”
UK Backward Running Championship in Heaton Park, Manchester. Mark Salkild, obviously warming up for the FRA Relays, “ran” this yesterday.”It was run over I mile,including a 300mtre hill. 75 entrants and I ended up in 2nd place which gave me the Vets Title. It was won by the Irish World Champ, 32year old Garret Doherty, in a blistering 7mins 06 secs. My time was 8mins 59. Maybe the Worlds next year.Think I was the only Dark Peaker at that one!”

Snowdonia Marathon John Armistead “has an entry for this years Snowdonia Marathon that I won’t be taking up due to having a bit of a dodgy knee at the moment. The race, which I can highly recommend even to fell runners who wouldn’t normally go anywhere near a road race, is due to take place on Saturday 29th October. The race is full but substitutions are allowed up to 30th September. If anyone is interested in taking up my entry, please get in touch with me asap as I’m planning to be out of the country for much of September. e-mail “
